1907 Map of Kinsman

About this map

Pymatuning Creek and Mosquito Creek define the drainage of this northeastern Ohio landscape during the first decade of the twentieth century. The area is a dense network of early 1900s rail lines and small agricultural hubs, with the Erie RR and the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern threading through the townships of Kinsman and Vernon. These rail corridors were vital for the rural economy, supporting established stops like Farmdale PO Kinsman Sta and Nutwood Fowler Sta. Along the eastern margin, the Ohio Pennsylvania border cuts through the settlement of Orangeville, while the State Line Church stands as a landmark on the boundary line in Greene township. This survey preserves the exact locations of many family-named crossroads and post offices, from Gustavus to Hartford, before modern development altered these traditional Trumbull County town centers.
